Medical Weight Loss Q&A
What Is Medical Weight Loss?

A medical weight loss program, also known as Bariatric Weight Management, specializes primarily in medical weight loss for those who have difficulty losing weight despite their efforts. It can also help you control your food cravings. Medical weight loss is ideal for you if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or higher.
Medical weight loss uses a science- and evidence-based approach to losing weight where you’re guided and monitored by a medical expert all along the way. Whether you want to lose weight to manage a health condition, improve your mobility, or boost your self-esteem, taking a medical approach ensures you’re doing it in a way that’s good for your health.

How Does Medical Weight Loss Compare to Other Approaches?

You have probably tried different approaches to lose weight yet had little success before turning to The EnLyv Me Medical Weight Loss. While supplements, fad diets, and calorie counting can help lose weight, it is challenging to navigate weight loss yourself and even more difficult to avoid regaining weight later on.
What sets apart the medical weight loss plans at The EnLyv Me Medical Weight Loss from other weight-management programs critical of the results and key benefits, which include:

Science-Based Approach

While creating and implementing your medical weight-loss plan, our doctors consider your body’s natural processes and composition. We will help you to overcome physiological and evolutionary hurdles that make weight loss difficult for the average human body, including:

• Tracking your diet and exercise

Individualization

Our medical experts personalize your weight loss program based on current habits and preferences using the four pillars of medical weight loss which include nutrition, behavior, physical activity, and medication. We can also help you find a nutritional approach that doesn’t make you feel too constricted regarding food.
